BOURJOIS EFFET 3D MAX!!

When i went window shopping this time around never thought i would wind up with another lip gloss!!! But i sure am glad that it is from BOURJOIS!!!!!! I bought the EFFET 3D MAX LIPGLOSS in no:64 Framboise Ardent.

Its a nice reddish-pink color with small sparkles in 'em. The formula is nice and not thick at all. It has slight sweet smell(some may not notice it at all) which i don't mind! According to the claim it has a smoothing formula with shine micro activators in 'em. over all i think there were 6 shades at the counter and i bought just one to give it a test drive.

Pros:-
Cute packaging
nice formula with small shimmery particles
Don't worry it is good for day time use too
Found that it doesn't wear off easily or leave a bad stain
Constant reapplication was not necessary
On my lips it acted kinda like "long lasting" formula
Quite moisturising
Really pigmented

Cons:-
Definitely the price. I bought it for 540.
The most important thing...HATE THE WAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(EVEN THESE
MANY EXCLAMATION MARKS ARE NOT ENOUGH).see for yourself

Its some new technology that allows the "spatula" like wand to gather
more gloss from the tube and inturn it makes normal application
near to impossible!
Too much product always comes out and one has to "pat" them on the lips
rather than just brush it on the way we do with "normal" glosses
making this technique hard to master!
If they could change the wand.....i would be an ETERNAL FAN!

Thats the color....but when i swatched it on my hand it had some "red" to it
but its showing up as "pink" on my lips.

After 3 hrs of talking and having my dinner the color has not been
washed out completely....which is great for a gloss that does not
proclaim its "long lasting"

Would i repurchase:- Yup! But they have to change the wand!!!

Waddya think? gonna run to the store to grab these?? or willing to give it a pass??

Funnily I love the applicator, I feel it gives very precise control and application, prevents it looking like a goopy messy, like brushes can.. But i guess that is just my personal preference. Not everyone may like it :)
